Wisconsin is tough! Two more turnovers cost me 14 points. Crazy last drive falls 6 yards short with my third string QB at the helm. I did have two issues during the game that really helped contribute to the loss. On one possession in the fourth quarter, I got the ball inside the 5 with a third down rushing attempt and faced a 4th and inches, so I call the hurry up offense trying to get Wisconsin's lineman out of position so I can run the ball to pick up the first. When I got to the line, I look and see one of the Wisconsin players standing in between my center and guard almost like he is stuck and can't get back into position. I snap the ball thinking I will get an offsides call, but instead, I get a turnover on downs. From where he was stuck in my line, as soon as I snapped the ball, the defender fell on top of my QB before he could ever make the handoff. Very strange play, that I just figure was a glitch in the system or something that I couldn't control.

Another problem that I had was on my last drive, two or three plays before the end, I'm trying to call the hurry up offense and am pressing the button like crazy knowing that I don't have any timeouts. For some reason I was sent into the huddle to pick a play and when my team lined up, a couple seconds ran off the clock before I could snap the ball. At first I thought it was maybe due to an injury on my team, but at this point I was already down to my 3rd string QB and all of the rest of my regular players were in. I might have been able to squeeze in one more play at the end of the game if I hadn't lost these few precious seconds after being forced back into the huddle when I was trying to call the hurry up offense. Has this kind of thing happened to anyone else?

Florida was without their star QB Brantley and it showed, they could not move the ball through the air at all. Demps was mildly effective, but without any threat of a passing game Ole Miss was able to pin their ears back and bull rush the O-line all day.

After a emotional OT win vs. #3 Virginia Tech, Auburn experienced what a lot of college kids go through a hangover. The story of the day was the struggles of Cam Newton and the offense. The first series ended in a pick inside the thirty and an eventual S. Carolina score after a roll right, throw right by Garcia.

Auburn found themselves looking for answers after being stunned like that in the first 2 minutes. The next series would leave them more confused, and a pit in the stomachs of the war eagle faithful. Newton was overthrowing nearly every pass, and becoming frustrated with his recievers for getting bumped off their routes. Auburn got it going for a bit and Bynum connected on a fg giving the tigers some confidence, On the other side the ole ball coach went to work with Freshman sensaiton Lattimore who gashed the tigers throughout the game. S. Carolina eventually scored on their second drive, and the tigers found themsleves down 14-3, yet again.

As Cam Newton had struggles thourgh the air, the S. carolina defense had a spy on him the whole game, Newton killed a drive heading towards the endzone on a QB blast call after gaining 20 yards he was stripped and s. carolina was back in business. Auburn added another field goal, but towards the end of the half after a spectacular catch by Jeffry the gamecocks added one as well making it 17-6 @ the break.

The 2nd half was a whole different story, not much drama because Auburns defense stiffeled the run, and sacked Garcia over and over again. Auburn who's drives sputtered eventually got into the endzone on a broken play where Newton took it up the middle and in for the score.

Auburn still found themselves down by three going into the fourth. Auburns offense had consecutive three and outs, and they needed to get into atleast field goal range. Coach kingspring changed the offense a bit, Mkaing Dyer the primary and only carrier, and putting Newton under center. It paid off when Dyer hit a toss for 25 yards. Dyer eventually bouned into the endzone after showing his speed on a stretch play beating a Gamecocks defenders the the edge.

The ensuing KO and gave auburn its first break of the game and blew the screen door off the place. A fumble that popped into the hands of a tiger, and was eventually drug down inside the twenty Jordan Hare erupted and they pounded it down the field. After Newton was sacked the tigers faced 3rd and goal, and Newton came through again with a spectucalr escape after this progessions broke down, and a score to the pilon.

The defense stood firm and the offense again struggled after Mccalleb and Fannin could not move the ball. After a spectacular punt inside the 5 yrd line. Marcus Lattimore took a draw for twenty yards and south carolina was trying to mount a come back. After a spectular two plays by Thorpe aubung got the ball back and put the nail in the coffin when Newton threw a strike to slot Quaderius Carr for 45 yards. Aubunr explosion of offense in the 4th gave the Tigers a 34-17 victory, they remian undefeated, and will rise in the polls again.

The Tigers take a week off from SEC play next week when they travel to Wyoming next week to take on Austyn Carta Samuels and the cowboys. Aubrun should be heavy favorites but Wyoming made a bowl last yr and the tigers may be experiencing some g]jet lag, and feel out of place.

Notes:
Newton threw for over 200 again, but struggled completing 50% of his passes
Auburn o line was rather weak, Newton was hurried almost every play.
Mario Fanin has had some issues fitting into the system as of late.
Lattimore is a stud although he only had 7 carries for 32 yards he showed glimpse of greatness, also good hands out of the back field.

Coming off of a bad loss versus Arkansas, Georgia seemed to pick off right where they left off. After forcing Mississippi St to punt on their first possession Georgiaâ€™s offense took the field and turned the ball over. It happened when AJ Green fumbled the ball fighting while fighting for extra yards after a short reception from Murray. Mississippi St immediately capitalized on the mistake with a 51 yards TD pass from Relf to Green. Then on the ensuing possession Murray threw an interception while trying to force the pass into a tight window. Down 0-7 and still plagued with the turnover bug it looked like it was going to be another long game for the Bulldogs, but they finally woke up.

Georgiaâ€™s defense came to life by quickly forcing a punt after the offense second turnover of the game. Georgia then put together a nice drive on the back of Caleb King which resulted in him tying the game 7-7 on a 4 yard TD run near the end of the first quarter.

Murray finally got on track in the second quarter connecting with Green for a 78 yard TD pass to take the lead by a TD with a little over 3 minutes left in the half. Mississippi St. turned around and put together a nice drive, but it ended with a missed field goal giving Georgia the ball back with less than a minute to go in the half. Murray quickly drove the ball down the field using timeouts, and the no huddle effectively. With 4 seconds left in the half Murray connected with Green for the second time today, this time on a 25 yard TD pass. Georgia would go up 21-7 before the half and never look back.

After halftime Georgia came out and played with the same enthusiasm and drive they had before the half. On their first possession of the second half Caleb King busted thru the middle and ran 80 yards for a score giving them a 28-7 lead. Georgia would be a cruise control for the rest of the game with no more scoring happening in the game. Next week Georgia will try to go over .500 for the first time this season as they go on the road again to face a well coached Maryland team.

The weirdest thing I had happen was the CPU miss a field goal off the uprights, my player caught the ball in the endzone, and the play ended. For some crazy reason my defense was on the field and the CPU team was on the field at the 20 as if they had just had a touchback. Luckily for me I corrected the games mistake because on the next play I intercepted the ball and ran it in 20 yards for the score. It was just a very bizarre sequence.

I've also been in a situation where I wanted to call no huddle but couldn't.

Plus five. That's really all you need to know about Saturday;s matchup between the Hokies and Boston College. On a rain-soaked gridiron, Boston College couldn't seem to hang on to the ball, and the Hokies pounced on them all.

"Any coach in the country will take their chances with a 5-0 turnover ratio, I can tell you that", Coach Beamer opened his post game media session. "I'm proud of the effort I saw today. Coming off a tough loss last week at Auburn, it was good to see the effort we got today."

Offensively, the Hokies rebounded to a certain extent. Though no one posted great numbers, Ryan Williams returned to form with 94 yards and 2 TD on 15 carries. Backup Darren Evans chimed in with 84 yards of his own, including a 43 yard scamper late in the 4th that all but put the Eagles away for good. Through the air, Tyrod Taylor made a minor improvement, going 9-19 for 166 yards and a TD pass to Dyrell Roberts. More importantly... no interceptions.

For the Hokies, next week concludes and unheard of four week span away from home with a trip to face the NC State Wolfpack. Sitting at 3-1 (1-0) and still in the Top 10 in the country, the Hokies know the sky is still the limit in 2010. The Top 25 has seen more movement than has been seen in the first 3 weeks of a season perhaps ever. From here on out... just win, baby.

The Boston College Eagles nightmare of a season continues. This time in a wet sloppy game against conference rival Virginia Tech.

In a game that Boston College was hoping to show they had turned the corner from their miserable start, the Eagles were embarassed. Yes the conditions were wet and sloppy, yes they hosted a top 10 team, but none of that is enough to defend the poor play of the now 1-3 Boston College squad.

The game started well enough with a 3 and out for Virginia Tech after they received the opening kickoff. That was the highlight of the game. On their ensuing drive the Eagles marched down the field only to have HB Montel Harris fumble the ball inside the 20. Virginia Tech answered with a bomb to a wide open Dyrell Roberts.

The Hokies did not look back. Although the game was close at the half 13-7, Boston College could not score another point against a very good Hokies defense. Although total yardage was close: 387-438, turnovers would seal the fate of the Eagles.

4 fumbles and 1 interception later, there will be a lot of soul searching. The goal now is 7 wins. That's all we need to ensure a bowl game. We will take things one game at a time. Since the switch at QB, we are able to move the ball better. Now we just need to hold onto it. With an obvious lack of talent at the skill positions, the Eagles need to play flawless football to compete with the big boys.

The Arkansas Razorbacks are quietly becoming a contender this year. The latest victim, The Alabama Crimson Tide. Arkansas dominated the tide this past weekend, winning 48 to 14. The defending National champs got dismantled by the Hogs. The running of Mark Ingram was the only bright spot for Alabama the entire game.

The game was pretty much over by halftime and we got to see many of the second and third team of the Razorbacks.

Ryan Mallett was the player of the game for Arkansas with 223 yards and 3 TD's
